Weight Loss Challenge-Exercise Log

[jesvetmed]

So I started fitness Boot Camp yesterday morning and I can barely walk today. I guess that means it's working!!!

I don't know how I am going to get through tomorrow's BC if I can barely walk today!

Isn't boot camp great?!
I love that feeling -- sounds like you guys do more lower body than we do -- we do a lot, but I'm always worse on the upper body / core. Much more sore there than anywhere else. We do TONS of pushups, planks, medicine ball stuff, kettle bells, tri-ceps, etc. The legs are probably less than 1/3 of what we do. There's no way I'd push myself to do these alone. It's worth the money for me to join the group in this case! Hope your class goes ok!

Hey Jes!

Boot camp is crazy! Monday morning, we had to run up and down this giant hill for 8 minutes straight. I almost threw up.

Today we worked out in the rain. I didn't mind though, since it was pretty warm and the rain cooled me off. The trainer put a basket of tennis balls at the top of a 60 step stairway and we had to run up the stairs, grab a tennis ball and come back down. On the tennis ball were written different exercises and when we got down the stairs, then had to do those respective exercises. Everything from core, to squats, to frog jumps, tricep dips. It was a killer!!!

I'm like you though, I need to have someone push me to the limit and I feel it's definitely worth the $$ too.

On Tuesday, Thurs, and Saturday, we are supposed to do something low impact just to keep our HR up for about 45 min to an hour.

If I can just get my diet under control! I haven't been making the best of food choices, but hopefully have done a little better over the past week.

The boot camp sounds like a great workout!

Food journaling is the only way I can keep my diet under control. PM me w/ your email addy if you want a blank copy of the one I use.

BC was crazy again today. We did circuits at stations for 1 minute each

1. Running up and down the 60 step stairway
2. Running backwards up the hill w/ 3 lb weights in each hand
3. Push ups
4. Walking lunges
5. Plank hold

At the end, we had a contest to see who could frog jump the farthest. I came in 2nd-not too shabby!
